Rival Schools are celebrating their 25th anniversary with a deluxe reissue of their second LP, ‘Pedals,’ along with represses of its sister album, ‘Found,’ and the band’s debut LP, ‘United By Fate’ – all due out September 20th via Run For Cover Records.
Now, they’re sharing the music video for ‘You Should Have Hung Out,’ one of three previously unreleased b-sides from the ‘Pedals’ sessions. It’s the kind of unheard gem that makes you wonder how it could possibly have been cut from the original release. From the very first notes ‘You Should Have Hung Out’ is an instant reminder of why Rival Schools are such a special and impactful band, combining different sounds and textures around vocalist/guitarist Walter Schreifels’ singular voice and hooks. ‘You Should Have Hung Out’ will be streaming this Friday along with two more ‘Pedals’ b-sides, ‘Arranges Marriages’ and ‘Paranoid Detectives.’
